The Woman Question in Russia.

twm- Dudley Foulke. In Woman's Journal.]
The radical bent of the Russian
mind, or its leaning toward new and
bold ideas, is shown in other ways than
in the nihilism of the young students
and the ignorant religious sects among
the common people. One example of
this, borrowed from the last ten or fif-
teen years, is the movement for the
emancipation, or rather the freedom,
OF women. The Russians do not like
to use the word emancipation" in
this regard; they like to say that
among them woman is emancipated,
because the law leaves to her at mar
riage the administration of her own
fortune. So they generally speak in
Russia Of the "woman question"
The excuses by which it has been
compromised, do not prevent this
movement of female emancipation
from being one of the most interesting
and characteristic phenomena of Rus
sian society of to-day. In this re-
spect, Russia is, of all the States of the
continent, that which comes nearest
to the Anglo-Saxon countries, al
though, in the two cases, claims which
are quite alike at the bottom are
shown under aspects very different.
If any revolution should take place
hereafter in laws or social customs
Russia will be, without doubt, one of
the first countries of the old continent
to attempt it, Meanwhile, she has al
ready made experiments in the higher
education of women, some of which
might serve as model to States
which think themselves much further
advanced.

Widows Rights in Maine.

Many citizens of Maine, men ant
women, last Winter petitioned the
Legislature to submit an amendment
to the Constitution of that State, sc
that women may vote on the same
terms as men. This the legislators re-
fused to do. But they did amend the
laws so that widow may live ninety
days in the house Of her deceased hus.
band without paying rent. The text
OF the amendment is as follows:
"A widow shall have her reasonable
sustenance out of her husbands estate for
ninety days after his death, and NAV re-
main in the house of her husband during
said ninety days without being charge
able with rent therefor"
Maine and Massachusetts, were for
merly united, and the old law of Mas
sachusetts gave widows only forty days
to live in the house of the deceased.
Probably the old law in Maine also
gave the widow only forty days. In
Massachusetts, this was the case, even
when the house was built by money
which belonged to the wife before her
marriage, and it must have been so in
Maine. The personal property Of a
wife, by the marriage, became the
property of the husband, and the
house built with that money was the
husbands house. His widow could
stay i'll it forty days.
The question arises, were the Maine
legislators afraid to submit an amend
ment so that women may vote, lest
they should deal with widowers as
Maine men have now dealt with wild
ows
Here is the catechism of it:
Q.-How long may widower in
Maine live in the family house after
his wife's death?
A.-As long as he pleascs.
Q.-How long may widow live in
the family house after the death of her
husband?
A.-She may remain ninety days
without paying rent.
Q.-May Maine women help to make
the laws?
4.-They shall not.
How sorry and ashamed Maine will
one day be of this treatment of its
widows! 1t comes in a great degree
from the fact that the part the wife
takes in the family is counted as worth
nothing, because it has no money
value, or it is not paid for in money.
1t is regarded as a gift when the Maine
law gives widow reasonable susie
nance" 1t is generosity to let her
live ninety days without rent! But
this widow came to the house young
wife. She has spent all her days in
the service of the family; she has been
mother and nurse Of the children; she
has been cook, laundress, chamber
maid, seamstress, parlor-maid, wait
ress, hostess and maid of all work. A
majority of wives do all these things.
Time passes, and, when she is sixty or
seventy years of age, the man of the
house dies, and his widow can stay
ninety days in the house without pay
ing rent Or she may be mother of
young children; in that case she needs
the whole property Gust as the father
would have done) to enable her to
shelter and feed the family; but, all
the same, the law will turn her out
after ninety days. Such legislation
shows how each class needs the power
to protect itself. Lucy STONE.
